Audrey
Rubuntja• Audrey was born in 1942 in the
old Alice Springs hospital to Wildred and Lucy Swift of Hermannsburg. Her father worked in the Mission store at
Areyonga, and her mother worked as a housemaid for the local pastor at the time.

She has been painting for about 30 years. Her paintings
tell stories of family, bush tucker gathering and dreamtime stories. As she
explains, ‘My
grandchildren love to watch me paint as I tell them stories and explain to them
the meaning of the different symbols used. In this modern days we have adapted
to the use of acrylic paint to illustrate the same stories that were originally
told with drawings done by hand on bare ground’.
She enjoys painting and passing on the gift to the following
generations. It is an important part of our culture as Aboriginal People.

June
Sultan Narpandi-Arpungada• I have been painting for over 13
years now. My art is inspired by my brother Reg Sultan and my extended family
including aunts and uncles. My paintings are traditional stories of bush tucker
and bush medicine. I also paint more abstract pieces about Aboriginal culture.

I have been painting here in Alice Springs for some years now. Many of my
friends know to find me at Todd Mall, especially on market day. If you are in
town, you can usually see me sitting in my camping chair or a blanket on the
grassy verge, with my paintings. You can view examples of my works through this

Trephina Sultan /
Thanguwa.com• Trephina is a local indigenous
artist. Born in Alice Springs in Central Australia, visitors to the Alice Springs area
have been purchasing Trephina’s paintings over many years. The paintings reflect
her family’s culture, upbringing as a young child, and stories as told by her
Elders.

Her work include the ‘dot style’ synonymous with Aboriginal art, including the
many symbolism and iconography that represent the vegetation, food source, flora
and fauna that is representative of Central Australia. A more recent work, is
her ‘Tjanpi Kampanyi’ (Burning Grass), a move away from her previous traditional
works.

As well as producing art of different sizes, from the small to the wall size
canvases, Trephina has also created some wonderful pieces by request. You can
place an order for a commissioned piece by Trephina through AusEmade or contact
her direct.
